We made it!
Customs etc was pretty straightforward... We had to wait in line a while for our passport check, but once we had our bags,we were allowed straight through. Caitlin even managed to get a smile from one of the immigration people!
There was a bit of a mixup, as the hotel only sent 1 x 4-seater,instead of a minibus, so we had to take 2 taxis.
The ride in from the airport was a good warm-up. Nothing quite prepares you for the free-for-all at busy intersections!
Our room is very nice and clean.We've got the top floor of our (relatively small) hotel, with views on 2 sides,including glimpses of Hoan Kiem Lake. There is also a nice little shared balcony downstairs on the 7th floor. We discovered that there is also some kind of temple next door, and the chanting seemed to go on all night, which drove us a bit mad, but we've been assured it doesn't happen every night.
Will write later once we've had a look around.
Til then...
Steve
